Mary Ann Nacke was born at Remsen, Iowa, June 6, 1892. She was an older sister of Sister M. Columba and an aunt of Father Edmund Kestel, of Conception Abbey. She entered at Clyde Sept. 12, 1911, was invested Jan. 13, 1912, and professed Jan. 18,1913 receiving the name of Sister M. Georgia. Perpetual vows were made Aug. 24, 1918 and consecration of virgins in November 1952.

Sister was described by someone who knew her well as "a unique, active, cheerful person, working on outdoor maintenance, mixing paints for Sr.M.Justina to cover the thousand miles of walls they painted together." Although this aspect of her community life is predominant, Sister also worked in the book-bindery, on the farm, in the garden, laundry and chicken yard, and was at the orphanage for nine months.

Sister M. Georgia's last illness, a determined bout with cancer extending over a period of some two years, was a veritable Way of Calvary, involving much suffering. Sister bore it with cheerful, heroic resignation to the will of God. During periods when she felt better and was able to be around, she tried to assist at all the hours of the Divine Office and even attended Mass both in the infirmary chapel and the adoration chapel daily. She edified all who came in contact with her by her unfailing cheerfulness, self-effacement, and her spirit of gratitude for even the smallest favor done for her.

She was greatly loved and revered by the doctors and nurses at the hospital, who spoke of her as a "wonderful person." At her death, one of them remarked, "We have a saint in heaven." She was mercifully spared the very painful terminus which the doctor expected, and died peacefully on July 22, 1969 at the age of seventy-seven.
